As much as Shannon’s work is about her
business, she knows that ultimately, her
clients are with her because of HER. She
explains that choice is about trust. “It’s
my passion to help people create a plan
and achieve their goals. I’m humbled by
my clients’ continued faith and trust.” Her
personal goal is to help as many people
as she can by the time she reaches her
mid-60s (jokingly because her husband,
Wilmington native Kurt Sandlin, is 10
years older than she is and they want to
volunteer and travel). Shannon takes a
holistic approach to everything in life,
including financial planning. “Everything
should sing the same song, from how
your investments are positioned, to how
you protect and plan for your loved ones.
It is a fluid process.” Her approach is to
help create a cohesive message, and
bring a plan together accordingly. “I’m
there with my clients along the way to
keep the bigger picture in view.”
